    Oops I miss spoked. Just went back and looked since April I've only paid $223 that's counting my monthly fee of $10 I pay for a company to do it.

    Anyone else have a T680 and noticed only 2 Batteries are connected to each other? So my truck has 4 total.. 2 are connected.. Then 2 others are connected they all are not linked together..

    Yeah but would that affect when the truck is off? Would i still get the voltage from all 4 ?

    Depends on how everything is wired. Follow the cakes and see where they go. Does the cab get its power after the starter or before?

    That's how the new Peterbilt come from the factory now. I inquired about that this summer when I bought my truck as I thought it was a little odd... Salesmen said all are like that now.

    Dang apu starter took a Dump :( Glad i got the warranty.. Really really playing with the idea of installing a Mexwell start system on this truck or just throwing 4 deep cycle's in it. Been up north and its been 0 and gonna be -10 friday.. The truck batteries are just not having it. At least with a maxwell i could still start the truck no matter how dead my other batteries might be. But that's almost $1200 for that i could just get 4 AGM's deep cycles in here and hope they last better in the cold

    I just briefly looked at the Mexwell website as I've never heard of it, that single battery they have pictured is the actual start system?
